Clogging is a rhythmic folk dance that originated in the Appalachian region of the United States. It combines Irish, Scottish, English, and African dance styles. Clogging evolved from percussive footwork on wooden floors and gained popularity in the 19th century at social gatherings and square dances. It spread beyond Appalachia, adapting to new influences and gaining recognition through recordings and radio broadcasts. Clogging experienced a resurgence in the 20th century, attracting a diverse range of dancers and incorporating modern music and choreography. Today, it is a global phenomenon, celebrated for its energetic footwork and vibrant spirit.
